Niles West Math Team Places at State

Sophomore Patrick Liscio accepts his award at the State Math Competition.

The Niles West Math team placed at State at the University of Illinios Urbana-Champaign, Saturday, April 30.

Sophomore Patrick Liscio won first place in the Geometry category. Freshmen Mahnoor Bhatti, Tina Conis, Nancy Ho, and Peter Kundzicz, as well as sophomores Theodore Truong, Liscio, Rudy Newman, and Colleen Persaud, took fourth place in the Frosh/Soph 8 person team category. Sophomores Joseph Cohen, Basia Gawin, Truong, Newman, and Andrew Kim took tenth place in the Geometry team category.

“We had some very impressive performances at State. Patrick’s 1st place in Geometry is the only top finish in State that I can recall. Earning top-10 finishes in two other frosh-soph team categories really bodes well for the future of the Math Team,” Fahrenbacher says.

Mara is involved in many activities at Niles West, ranging from tennis to Dance Marathon. Besides writing for the NWN, she enjoys listening to music, reading, and hanging out with friends. She is looking forward to covering West’s extra-curriculars throughout the school year.
